Symptoms

While symptoms can vary there are a few consistent indications.

•    Belly button pain-the first symptom is traditionally centrally located around the navel.  The pain will begin as a slight ache and become more severe over time.
•    The pain moves-as the disease progresses the pain will move toward the lower right portion of the abdomen.
•    Vague symptoms-while vomiting, fever,  diarrhea and nausea can be symptomatic of several different illnesses, in conjunction with acute abdominal pain, it is likely to be appendicitis.
•    Increased pain when coughing or walking-the patient has a distinct desire to stay very still.
